ISync wont open even after reinstalling with Pacifist

I hate to revive a topic that Mr Lafferty (god bless) must have thought dead and gone, and replaced by all the Leopard iSync complaints threads, but...
I have a refusenik iSync in 10.4. I have done all of the reinstallation using Pacifist and OSX combo updates as recommended on other threads, but I still don't have a revived iSync. When launched, the logo still bounces away for a while, then sits in the Dock with no little triangle beneath - just like before I reinstalled. Still no response when I click on it except that the word iSync appears in the top corner and everything freezes until I click on Finder or some other icon.
I have used the 10.4.11 combo update. I have done it twice, and I have tried both Update and Replace when those options appear in the combo update.
Aargh. Is there another more fundamental way of getting rid of this annoying defective iSync and installing a completely new version?
As some may realise, I'm reposting - apologies. But I never get a reply to my posts- help!!!
Gareth

Where to start? Try this…
Look for an iSync crash log—iSync.crash.log—here:
Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Logs:CrashReporter
Use Technical Note TN 2123: CrashReporter to get some idea of why your copy of iSync crashes.

  • Firefox will not open on my computer, even after reinstall, with no error message or when I try to run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p. Help?

    I recently installed firefox so I could use an adblocker. It installed just fine, and it worked just fine for about three days. Then yesterday it stopped opening. I'm on a Toshiba running Windows 7. The icon highlights when I click on it, but then it stops and won't open the browser at all. When I try to run it with the manual command "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p, I get the error message, "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location." I installed it to that location, and I don't need a disk. I'm connected to the Internet just fine and my other browsers (Chrome and IE) work the same as always. But they're swamped with ads and I really was happy wih Firefox when it was opening...how can I fix this issue?

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    You need to reinstall:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Updated itunes, now it freezes upon opening. even after reinstall.

    Hey, I recently updated to the newest version of itunes and whenever i open it it freezes automatically. It pops up and i can't click on anything or do anything.
    I've tried reinstalling it and redownloading it multiple times but I still get the same results. I've also made sure to download the one with quicktime.
    I tried downloading an older version but it says that my library was created by a newer version and it can't be read. Something along those lines.
    Can someone please help me? I'm at my wits end about what to do.

    I'm having the same issues! iTunes over the past few days has been freezing on opening (sometimes), freezing during routine playback (sometimes), and when it freezes it refuses to die even when I try to force-quit!
    I tried rebuilding my iTunes library as suggested, but it didn't work for me. It froze less than 30 minutes after I went through that rigamarole...

    PLEASE HELP!!
    I am so frustrated and about to just give up and deal with the fact I won't have iTunes again

    Hi Kacey,
    I suspect that somewhere in all of this your iTunes library database got removed. Here is my usual approach...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder (inside your main iTunes folder) should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    If I've misunderstood the situation please provide more details and I will do my best to help.

  • Appleworks won't open even after reinstall

    Okay folks, this one has me stumped. First, I'm working on my G4. I have two user accounts, a business account and a 'fun' account. My 'fun' account is my 'home' account, if that matters. Here is the problem: Appleworks stopped opening on my business account. All I get is the spinning wheel of death and I have to force quit. I have tried reinstalling Appleworks on both the 'fun' account (where it still works flawlessly) and on the 'business' account, where I still get the spinning wheel of death. During my last round of battle with this problem, I reinstalled AW on my home account, then put the new AW icon in the 'Shared' file, thinking this might solve the problem. No luck. Any help would be appreciated.

    You have run into the "Recent Items bug" & it has been around since AppleWorks 6 was released in March, 2000. It can make it appear that AppleWorks has frozen or failed to launch. The recent items are stored for each user which is why one user may be affected but not others. The user tip by Dale Gillard, AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?, explains a lot.

  • Firefox crashes when opening, even after reinstall, on OS X 10.5.8

    Firefox will open but crash within 5 seconds of opening. I have done deep uninstall and clean install of firefox using both 3.6.12 and 4.0.7beta versions, but continue to face the same problem.
    I have followed instructions on https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/762084 to try to resolve my problem, attempting to create a new profile by accessing profile manager via Terminal. After entering Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -profilemanager, the Mozilla Crash Manager pops up again informing me that Firefox has crashed.
    Help is greatly appreciated. Prior to this problem, the last activity I remember doing on FF was checking my gmail. Other browsers like Safari and Chrome run fine, but is frustrating because FF is my primary browser!

    Try running "Repair Disk Permissions" in Disk Utility (easily found with spotlight). Have been re-running Firefox without troubles after that.

  • Photos Wont Open Even After Restart

  • IPhoto '11 suddenly not launching even after reinstalling

    I am currently running version 10.6.8 and was using iPhoto '11 for many months without any problems until today!  Suddenly slideshows disappeared, so I checked for any updates - which there was one - and downloaded it.  I then restarted my computer however afterwards iPhoto wouldn't launch at all!  It gives an error message:
    "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem.
    Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Maac OS X.  You may need to reinstall the application.  Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X."
    Tried restarting again just to make sure. Nothing but same error message.  So, reinstalled the Life '09 disk (since I had purchased iPhoto '11 online).  Even after reinstalling I am only getting the same error message.  No idea what to do now... Please help?!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
